In a candid interview with The Sun, the left-back has questioned Spurs' ambition and praised United's summer transfer window while teasing 'I hear Mourinho may want one or two more players'.

"There are three weeks to go until the window shuts and you look at Man City and think, ‘If the window shut now they would be happy with the business they have done,’" Rose said.

"Man United, more or less, are there. Although I hear Mourinho may want one or two more players. But I am sure he’d be happy with his squad.

"As a Tottenham player I’d love to see more signings. It would lift me seeing a top player come through the door. I’ve seen a couple of players previously saying, ‘We don’t need a top signing or signings’. But I am sorry, I am not singing off the same hymn-sheet on that one.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has presided over a perplexing transfer window which has not featured a single addition as the Premier League runners up prepare to move to their new stadium next year.

The new White Hart Lane ground is costing Spurs £800m and the club is hopeful of financing half of it through naming rights. Spurs have also tried to service the cost by offloading flops Moussa Sissoko, Vincent Janssen and Georges-Kévin N'Koudou but the trio are still attached to the club.

Spurs' struggles to sell their dead wood could convince Levy to budge on another prominent player sale in Rose, particularly after his interview with the tabloid.

Rose expressed his frustration at Spurs' nine-year trophy drought in May and demanded the club make a 'marquee signing' to 'push forward'. Rose opined Spurs 'have to do a lot better' after falling short in their title duel with Chelsea last season.
